Apple CEO Tim Cook Comes Out in Support of Pro-LGBT Legislation

Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, discusses the impact of his childhood on his values.

“These values have also recently guided us to support legislation that demands equality and nondiscrimination for all employees regardless of who they love. This legislation, known as the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. I have long believed in this and Apple has implemented protections for employees even when the laws did not. Now is the time to write these basic principles of human dignity into the book of law.”
